I was deeply moved when last Saturday I entering the room where the Great Hall of Senate has been carefully reproduce in occasion of the 150 Years Italian Unification Celebration. I was there thinking that in the same place where I was standing the Senate of the Reign of Italy gathered for the first time and among the participants there were people like Carlo Cattaneo, Alessandro Manzoni, Massimo D’Azeglio. But there is more! In this amazing context I was together with passionate knitters, all there to collaborate at the same project lead by Enrica Borghi. The project aims at using yarn (precious Rowan Wool – British Sheep Brreds Chuncky Undyed 100%& British Wool) and plastic bags for creating an art piece. I have to say that the first impact has been ….no I cannot mix the beautiful and super natural Rowan yarn together with plastic bags. But thinking about the recycling issue, the art piece resulting from the combination of these two materials which will be exhibit in London (I will have to pay a visit! …and this adds to the motivations to join the project!) and above all the idea of ennobling those plastic bags which in a way or another speak about ourselves, the shops we buy from, our habits and the place we visit making them last forever in a work of art motivated me plenty enough to take crochet, needles, yarn and wool and work on my 15 cm x 15 cm square.
